RB:How do you extend a meter stick through NOTHING? Nothing is
the absence of existence - nihil, non-being, non esse - not the
physical vacuum, not empty space .... not anything, just NOTHING.
Don't try to picture nothing, because the sense faculties can
only perceive reality, and NOTHING has no reality. Don't try to
use a beam from a laser gauge to measure distance in it, because
if light (or any matter) were present inside nothing, it couldn't
be nothing.
So Shakespeare was right; It's possible to have "Much ado about nothing".

RB: The luminiferous aether is that substrate of space which supports
static and varying E and B varying potentials - EM waves
SR says these EM waves are not supported by anything.
So, SR says that electric and magnetic waves and potentials are
supported by NOTHING

RB: 1) 1960s speed of light forever constant contradicts Genesis ,
each year we drift further from the true divinely ordained clock of the
cosmic motion.
2) speed of light constant?

With intuition and experience. Galilean relativity uses normal addition,
and conforms to the reality of measurement. Occam's razor prefers common
sense to the nonsensical.

In this same posting below RB wrote:
There is no symmetry breaking - this argument was abandoned long ago.
Let two space travelers depart in opposite directions from earth with
identical histories of motion for speed, acceleration and deceleration.
Their trips will be symmetric in Minkowski space, since their world lines
will be mirror images of each other within the light cone that has Earth as
the origin, at t =0.
Yet the contradiction remains, with perfect trip symmetry.......
A returns older than B and A returns younger than B

Can nothing curve space? How would space know where to curve , and how much?
If 'vacuum' means space with properties that enable and influence light
paths and speed, then this is what everyone else calls 'aether'.

By RB: Why is who supports this more important than its truth value? Will
we vote to see if it's valid reasoning, or can we decide for ourselves?

One: there is no provision in SR to see a clock 'leap forward' into the
future! A clock in relative motion to an observer can only be seen to
dilate, to slow down, the rate dependent on the instantaneous speed. So each
will see the other age less for the whole trip.
Two: if a third twin is added - a triplet C who stays behind on earth, then
each one will agree that the other 2 are younger!
One of the demonic results of accepting relativity is the havoc it plays
with logic, a vital component of our God-given reasoning. The impossible
becomes the normal, and this influences our moral values, too, as Biblical
errancy is also adopted as normal.

Look up 'Worzel' and 'twin'; then link me to where they answered the exact

Speaking of dizzy, if I am on a rotating earth, spinning at least 500 mph,
why don't I feel dizzy, if I use subjective testing as above?

A GC term for the universal equivalent of the Newtonian pseudo-force - the
centrifugal force on objests in relative motion.

As described in a prior post:
The satellite - no longer a geostat - will move to a new value of d for
which the new velocity will satisfy Ag = Af + Ak.
This holds for the Moon as well - any satellite not self-propelled.
